Night 15







This test hole site in the photo below is productive on rainy nights. I think they are habituated to checking it for bronze frogs. First photo is the double catch and then next 2 photos are same animals.

Good way to start out the New Year, with a nice mink to skin!
4 bobcat sets and 16 Marten sets out. 2 mink sets also

Night 18.





We may be getting low on targets but I heard howling last night so perhaps my day will come.


I thermal hunted a new property one of the dead nights here for my line and that property had critters moving all over for a wide span of time.

That mink is a great catch! I've been having raccoons in my bobcat traps too, one above 8k even!

It always shocks me where coons live. I’ve come to the conclusion that there aren’t very many places they don’t live.

Caught a long tail weasel last week and a short tail today. First short tail for me. Almost can’t believe how small they are.

I’d love to catch a gray. I’ve never even seen one alive. Saw one dead on the side of the road in New Mexico but that’s it. Tried to call em in southern AZ but no luck.

If you’re going to be an opossum guy at least get the big ones.

This guys nuts are polished from dragging on the forest floor.

I think opossum have a cool looking pelt.

Hope you connect with one.
We have tons of them here in southern Colorado

My son picked up his first cat a couple days ago. He built the cubby/set all by himself.

We have been messing around with a small line and a dozen traps, when the kids go back to school Monday it’s game on for me.

Night 20.



I had a good chat with the boys about optimism.

Many men would say with these odds we will never catch a coyote. Guys like Daddy think “with these odds, we will catch one tonight.”

Night 21.

Picked up a grinner in a box trap.

I forgot to take a pic.

The trap check dreams are made of!
